I have the keyless start/entry on my Fiesta and yesterday the Low Battery Warning message came up on the main display. Not a big deal, I will use my spare set of keys. The spare set also has a low battery. Kind of suprised both key fobs have low batteries after 18 months.
Hey BRGT350,
Bummer!
Well, here's some info (as if though you don't know this already
) on the type of battery needed. The info is on page 140 of the
Owner Guide.
Replacing the battery:
The remote entry transmitter uses one coin type three-volt lithium
battery CR2032 or equivalent.
To replace the battery:
Integrated Keyhead Transmitter (IKT)
1. Carefully insert a flat object (e.g. a screwdriver) into the recess on the back of the key and remove the key blade.
2. Release the retaining clips with a flat object and separate the two halves of the transmitter.
3. Carefully pry out the battery with a flat object. Be careful not to touch the battery contacts or the printed circuit board with the flat object.
Note: Please refer to local regulations when disposing of transmitter batteries.
4. Insert the new battery with the + facing upwards.
5. Snap the two halves of the transmitter back together.
Intelligent Access key (IA key)
1. Press and hold the push buttons on the edges of the transmitter to release the cover. Carefully remove the cover.
2. Remove the key blade.
3. Twist a flat object in the position shown to separate the two halves of the transmitter.
4. Carefully insert a flat object in the position show to open the transmitter.
5. Carefully pry out the battery with a flat object.
Note: Please refer to local regulations when disposing of transmitter batteries.
6. Install a new battery with the + facing downwards.
7. Assemble the two halves of the transmitter back together.
8. Install the key blade.
Hope you get this fixed soon. Lord knows a working Fiesta fob is important in order to stay alive:
